[jbosstools-dev] Handy Plugin - debug another eclipse

Hi all... So this past week when I was running 4 different eclipses at once to determine the differences between wtp 2.0.1 and wtp 2.0.2 in deploying nested archives (the seam bug), I developed a quick plugin to be able to add one eclipse's source to source lookup. The reason I made this is because the current source-lookup options were absolute crap. Adding a folder is designated for a folder of solely source files. Adding an archive or external archive is the same. There was no option to search through a nested folder for all source files. And when running in one eclipse and debugging the *same instance*, you could of course use the project which allows you to search all plugins. This becomes most useful when using one eclipse to debug an *older* (or newer) version with completely different source. That's basically the use case. Marshall says he's used it a few times already. I added it to svn: jbosstools/trunk/labs/plugins/org.jboss.tools.labs.pde.sourceprovider There's no binary in svn yet and it's a little rudimentary =P It basically just searches a root folder (the eclipse installation) for any zip file that ends in "src.zip". Then it delegates to a bunch of regular external archive source containers for those individual paths. Future enhancements if I get annoyed enough may be to allow you to add any ant-type pattern matching. Suggestions are welcome. Again, I found it to be very very handy and Marshall says he's used it as well. - Rob Stryker
